Stena Line launches new 4-year partnership with Special Olympics Ireland

Special Olympics Ireland is proud to announce a new four-year partnership with Stena Line, extending from 2025 through 2028. The partnership was recently unveiled as part of Stena Line’s celebrations marking the 30th anniversary of its Dublin to Holyhead route; a milestone moment that reflects the company’s long-standing connection with Ireland and its communities.

The sponsorship represents Stena Line’s powerful commitment to inclusion, the creation of opportunities for all, and the belief that sport can change lives. Through Stena Line’s support, over 6,500 Special Olympics athletes from communities across the island of Ireland will gain greater access to training, competition, and personal development opportunities, from grassroots club sessions to representing Ireland on the world stage.

This multi-annual partnership will help SOI expand programmes that build confidence, resilience, and connection among athletes with intellectual disabilities. It will also provide vital funding to ensure that every athlete, regardless of circumstance, has the chance to reach their full potential in sport and beyond.
